When I lived as a trans man, I called radfems TERFs. It was a quick and easy way to dismiss their arguments. I know all too well that throwing #TERF at people who are merely trying to defend women’s rights is nothing less than a write off of legitimate concerns.

Why do the "legitimate concerns" slide so quickly to anti-trans bigotry. "I want to make sure women are safe and not displaced/competed against by transwomen." is a legitimate concern. "I find cis- offensive and insist on my right to call transwomen male" is anti-trans bigotry.
It’s not “anti-trans bigotry” to acknowledge the fact that sex cannot be changed and that females need female-only spaces. Anyone who believes otherwise believe actual trans people like Dr Debbie Hayton are bigoted towards themselves, which is ridiculous.
